Doug is a true professional! He made everyone feel at ease and we're not keen on being the center of attention. He spoke with us several times before our wedding in preparation to to get every detail we were envisioning before our big day. He caught all of our special moments without a hitch. I was also impressed with how quickly he completed the editing process and shared it with us. We also utilized him with creating a video montage for our special day and he caught all the important moments while also capturing beautiful pictures. He created a wonderful wedding keepsake which we cherish. I would highly recommend Doug again! More...

Doug did the photography at our 50th wedding anniversary party with about 50 guests. He was a delight to work with. He came on time, stayed a little extra time as needed, and provided us an enduring treasure of candids and group shots, all within 24 hours. I recommend him with the highest praise! More...

Doug is exceptional to work with. He took great engagement and wedding photos. For the wedding, he moved around without being noticed to very effectively to capture every moment with a variety of angles of us, our family and friends and the church. He similarly captured great moments in the reception.
Doug is very friendly and my wife and I highly recommend him.

I am so thrilled and pleased with the photos that Doug took for me! I am a law student and wanted a simple but professional headshot. I went to the studio which was spacious, modern, and very peaceful. Throughout the entire process, Doug was responsive and attentive to detail, and always checked in with me to get my thoughts. The turnaround time to receive the photos was very fast and he gave me many wonderful options to choose from.

I will be recommending Doug to all my friends and classmates who need headshots or any type of professional photography in the future.

We planned our wedding ceremony to be very intimate, yet in an outdoor space on a mid-November afternoon. We searched for a strong photographer to document the occasion for us. Doug's response to our request was prompt and confident, communicating what he could do for us within our budget, perfectly. He put our mind at ease, immediately. There were minor changes to the location and time which Doug took in stride- again- putting our minds at ease.
Doug arrived early to the location. His professionalism experience was quickly apparent. He quietly greeted everyone involved and got a take on all the participants and the surroundings while our small group gathered. He took beautiful photos of the ceremony as well as candid photos leading up to and gently but confidently took control when the time came for the photo shoot after the nuptials.
We're grateful to Doug for not only artistically creating beautiful memories for us to cherish, but also for being such an important and stable part of our wedding plans.
We highly recommend Doug Hyde for your next photo shoot.

We hired Doug to photograph my daughter’s wedding. He showed up punctually and was so friendly and easy to work with that we felt comfortable right away. He took pictures of the bridal party and family, including our dogs, and then headed to the wedding venue where he got tons of beautiful pictures of the ceremony and reception. He was so quiet and unobtrusive while he took the pictures I actually forgot he was there, which was exactly what we wanted. He got the proofs to us in record time and we were just so pleased with them. I highly recommend Doug! More...

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Doug. He is very flexible, reasonably priced and VERY EASY to work with. He was the perfect compliment to my daughters wedding.

I highly recommend working with Doug for your event.

If I could give Doug 10 stars, I would. Doug was a dream to work with. He was prompt, early to arrive, extremely diligent and responsible, and very professional. Wedding days are always hectic (from what I hear) and I didn’t even have a chance to have one worry over photography. Doug was that excellent. In addition to all of this, he provided a very fast turnaround time for my photos and video. Both of which were exceptional. Also, being from an Orthodox church, Doug was very respectful of everything and even met with the priest to discuss the technicalities of everything in the church. I couldn’t have asked for a smoother experience. That was a gift in and of itself. Doug is awesome! And we are so, so appreciative and will definitely be using him for future events.

Thanks Doug!!!!

Q&As

Big questions are:
What? Why type of shoot? Be specific. headshots for online media; senior photos for yearbooks; engagement photos; family photos. I do all these.
Where? Indoors studio-style or outdoors.
When? My schedule if flexible but I am generally booked ahead of time. Can you shoot just on weekends? Can you shoot during the week? Specific date?
Themes or Ideas: Now is the season of fall outdoor shoots. Next will be Christmas. Pinterest is a great source of ideas.

I've loved photography nearly all my life. I've been selling my photos for five years. I've progressively built the skills and equipment to be a full-service photographer focused on people photography. Many say I have a natural eye. To this I've added formal study of lighting at Rhode Island School of Design. I've taken courses in editing and post-processing. Most importantly, I've been shooting intensively over the last three years, and working with people for that same amount of time. I love the art. I love the people I get to interact with -- people of all ages, backgrounds, races, and interests. All are living their lives, are part of families, most have love and faith, all make me feel optimistic about this world.

I love photography and love sharing my skills and abilities. I'm blessed that people like and appreciate the work that I do.

I am passionate about photography. I want to capture special moments and pass these back to my clients. I love the art of photography. I know what I am doing.

I shoot both indoors studio-style and outdoors. My indoor space is in Westwood MA, just south of Boston along 95 / 128 opposite Dedham. But I also am not shy about traveling around New England to meet clients and take photos.

I personally am as vaccinated as I can get.
Photography has managed through the pandemic as there is space between the client and the photographer.
Much photography is done outdoors. Even indoors, there is space.
If anyone wishes me to wear a mask during a photoshoot, I'm more than happy to do so.
Fortunately, it seems the Covid situation is improving.

Services

Weddings make up a good portion of my photography business. My wedding photography work is "documentary style" with a low-key non-intrusive approach to capture you and your special day front-to-back, recording special moments, showing friends and family having fun, delivering you lasting memories. I've done courthouse weddings and elopements to larger events. I work on my own so I steer away from large production weddings.

I have studio space in Westwood, MA where I do professional headshots. I have two offers:
$150 for one look or outfit, half dozen delivered photos.
$250 for multiple looks or outfits, dozen+ delivered photos.

Engagements and proposals come in many flavors. I'm happy to work with you to capture that moment.

I've hidden in a barn with a long lens. I've blended in with tourists, waiting for that special "get down on a knee" moment. I've worked with those wanting to reenact that special event. I worked a party where the future bride was brought in blindfolded in front of friends and families.

For the record, everyone has said yes!

I love working with couples, whether for your engagement, for a special anniversary, or just because you are in love.

Gather your family together and capture memories. Have family pictures that can be hung on the wall. Create a special holiday card. Hire a photographer when family members visit from afar.

Photo sessions can be indoor in-studio, outdoors at a location of your choosing, or at your home.

I work with high school and college graduates as they end one stage of life and move on to the next.

My list of colleges keeps growing:

Boston Area: Babson, Bentley, Boston College, Boston University, Curry College, Harvard, Northeastern.

Providence Area: Brown, Johnson & Wales, URI

Come to my studio for special photoshoots. I've done birthday shoots, maternity sessions, fashion photos, actor portfolio photos, and more.

So many options: birthday parties, anniversaries, sweet 16s, quinceañeras, baptisms, and more.
